Oh so cute and Comfortable.

Perfect in every way for 2 couples. Larry is the best host as well. Lots of wildlife right outside the window. One of my favorites was watching the hummingbird coming to the hummingbird feeder right outside the window as I sat on the living room couch. We will be back for sure!

This is our second time staying here and it was just as good as we remembered. It’s close to town but very quiet and peaceful. We loved watching all the birds on the deck and sitting on the swing over looking the trees in the back. Larry is a great host!

Relaxing forest getaway

Cozy, clean, and well equipped cabin; close to town but feels tucked away. Beautiful deck and garden swing where we spotted birds, squirrels & deer. The host could not have been nicer, and even helped advise & locate local vehicle assistance when our car battery died unexpectedly.

Mountain get away

This was our first time to Idlewild. We came up from Orange County and were pleasantly surprised with the cute mountain town Of Idyllwild. the Boulder Creek cottage is so storybook like. It is quaint & cozy. It was everything that I had hoped for. We spent the weekend hiking, playing cards by the fire & completing a puzzle. it’s a wonderful place to stay

Awesome Property

Cabin was located at the end of a cul-de-sac so you couldn’t see any neighbors. The cabin was just as described and very well stocked. We enjoyed our 4 night stay and loved exploring the surrounding area.

Very nice, clean indoor and outdoor spaces. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. We arrived on a cool evening and it took us a bit to warm up with the wall heaters, but soon had the cabin cozy. Had a fun family get together on the large deck.

The Boulders

The cabin is very comfortable with all that you need for a stress free getaway. The master bed is too soft for our liking. Otherwise our stay was very pleasant for early fall.

Wonderful

Exactly what I was hoping for, and even better in several ways. House is welcoming, spacious for our family of 4, and cozy. Quiet at the end of a cul de sac backing the forest. Terrace is very pleasant with plenty of birds, squirrels and chipmunks visiting. Owner is very responsive. An adventure pass is provided (required to park at trailheads). All appliances work well, there are plenty of pots, pans and utensils for cooking, as well as coffee and filters. We loved the fireplace (high quality firewood is provided), reclining armchairs, heated blankets, board games, and all the nice touches around the house. That was our first time in Idyllwild and we'd probably try to rent the same place if we return!
